I loved this book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Rock N' Blues Harmonica: A Beginner's Guide to Jamming/Includes Book, Cassette, and Harmonica (Paperback)
This book really made me start jamming the minute I started reading it. You are not supposed to know anything about music, or musical theory, to understand and follow the lessons. It brings everything from understanding music to knowing deeply the instrument, and I still use it from time to time, when I need more info about harp playing.
5.0 out of 5 stars
excellent beginner's tool! Fun as hell too!,

This review is from: Rock N' Blues Harmonica: A Beginner's Guide to Jamming/Includes Book, Cassette, and Harmonica (Paperback)
Wow. I'm glad I went out on a limb and bought this. It's worth it for the CD alone. The book is a nice aid as well, but, ummm the whole caveman blues-band narrative is a tad cheesy, and would be a little racist (a white, Tarzan-esque hijacking of what is essentially a black music) if it weren't so obviously bone-headed. Oh stop, I can't help with the cultural analysis. It's a reflex at this point. at least you don't have to sit with me in a movie theatre...Back to the point, I would go so far as to guarantee that if you simply play along with the CD and skim the book for about 20- 30 minutes a day, you will MASSIVELY improve in skill. And the harmonica sounds really damn good on the CD- which makes you try harder. You want to be that good. Oh- Learning to Bend the notes on holes 2 and 3 takes TIME. I still can't hit them all when I need to. But I can jam along with my favorite tunes by Mandrill, The Clash, The White Stripes, and many others... I feel like I have bounced moths ahead in week's time! I don't know any other 'teach your self blues harp,' guides, because this one is working so well I haven't felt the need to purchase another. I enthusiastically reccomend this without reserve!
